handheld lowering module

I received my lowering module yesterday, it literally took less than 5 seconds to lower the car and reverting to stock height. I feel the preset lowering height is pretty good as I have about 5 inch ground clearance measure to the lowest point of the car and figured it can easily clear a typical 3 - 4 inch high speed bump.

Curious on who you bought yours through? I bought mine through Renntech for my E43. Cost was a little pricey compared to lowering links. But I wanted the convenience. I came from an S6 with lowering links and had to readjust them when going from my summer to winter wheel/tire setup.
I'm not affiliated with this but a guy on the E300 sedan forum just posted this offering on EBay. It looks just like the renntech module. Probably a copy of some kind but a heck of a deal if it really works.

my thoughts were the same as yours. I have a set of links but thought I’d try this. It’s guaranteed from eBay and it should be there next week. I’ll keep you all posted.

i did not search much prior to my purchase on my renntech lowering module, but let us know how it goes after you install it. The one negative thing I have to say on the renntech module is it locks into the car VIN once used and I cannot share it with on another MB car.

I'm on my 8th 993, 4th TT! Your name looks familiar from RL. I'm JDHERTZ11 there. My current 993TT is Arctic Silver with black interior with painted hardbacks. I just took delivery of my E63 Wagon that I ordered a few months ago.

8th 993 is impressive, feel free to share a picture or two of the 993 side by side with your wagon.

Wow - those cars look amazing! Since we are sharing our P-Cars. Here's my fun spring and summer car. Can't wait to get warmer weather here in Mid Ohio. 2007 997 Turbo (fully built forged engine to a 3.8 Mezger, GT2 Turbos, etc)...

Good to hear. Makes me feel ripped off by the Renntech one. It's highway robbery at that cost. I'm sure these should sell fast given the convenience factor compared to lowering links.

The rip-off from Renntech is that they link the module to the car permanently without any way to move it to another car. People change cars all the time, sometimes even after just a few months. So it's just a brick for any other car.

Plus the programming of the Ebay module is more advanced than the Renntech one.
The only difference I believe is that the Renntech module raises the car at speed to stock height (adjustable) while the Ebay one works more like links. So an alignment may be needed for Ebay one...
